100 Lambs International School

A small, low-fee Cambridge primary and lower-secondary school in Johor Bahru, established 2007 and one of the cheapest international options in the city.

Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary, leading to IGCSE preparation. Head is Carol Perumal. Roughly 15 years operating. Christian-flavoured ethos in name and culture.

Parent feedback is sharply divided. Some families report happy children, decent academics, and engaged teachers. Others describe an authoritarian culture with rules enforced unevenly, frequent public scolding for minor infractions, high staff turnover, and concerns about teacher quality and management. Sports and ECA provision is minimal. Suited to families who want low fees, accept the trade-offs, and would rather keep children in a structured environment than pay for one of the larger Cambridge or IB schools nearby.

• The signal splits sharply between high-achieving alumni and current voices flagging discipline and culture concerns. One ex-student wrote that this is "the place I grew, I make friends, and get nurtured from a student with an average mark of a D to scoring 13As", and another credited "teachers teach with great passion and patience" before graduating with six A/A grades.
• One student called it a "highly stressful place" with the school "constantly degrading creative arts and prioritizing studies over everything else".
• One parent described a discipline incident where a teacher "hit the table" while publicly scolding a student, and a separate student review flagged authoritarian rules and inconsistent enforcement (a forgotten tie drawing public scolding).
• Several voices question teacher qualifications and describe a high-stress staff environment with turnover.
• Fees sit at the affordable end of the Johor Bahru international market, which families weigh against the cultural concerns above.
